Confused on which rooting guide to follow - Sony Xperia E3

So I'm pretty confused there is a lot of information out there and it's conflicting one another in my view. I want to achieve root on my stock rom and possibly be able to flash custom roms. My situation is I have the Sony Xperia E3 D2206 model with stock android 4.4.2 and when I punch in the code it says that my bootloader is not unlockable. I have installed flashtool and drivers and tried the "BLU" button and it says it cannot unlock my bootloader.
From my understanding I can still somehow root this phone, can somebody point me to which guide I should follow for my phone?
Thank you.

Can someone weigh in, I'm sitting here a long time with my phone in hand.

You don't have to downgrade!
Get this http://www.unlockroot.com/download.html (UnlockRoot Pro) - watch out for toolbars during installation, just uncheck them and press Next.
And click ROOT it works on latest firmware.

Seems to good to be true ..
Any one tested it ?
I did, today, it works perfectly. I am not making this up.
Edit: just enable USB Debugging and the program will do the rest. You really don't have to downgrade.
I belive you
It's just I've never heard of this magic thing before...
It didn't work earlier, it was fixed in that program 2 days ago I think and it can root 11.0.A.7.5 just fine.

Works like a charm on 11.0.A.7.5! The free version UnlockRoot will do it. You do not need to buy the pro version.
I will try it then

Do you have PC Companion installed on your PC and USB Debug enabled on your phone?
I had this problem and the only thing I could do is to root it on laptop. I guess drivers are messed up on your PC or something.
Can it root latest tipo update .22?
EDIT: http://www.unlockroot.com/unlockroot3.php
Here writes that support 11.0.A.0.26 The latest is .22

For Any Development or if you want to install any custom Rom you need to unlock bootloader which voids warranty..this happened to me when i was on Xperia U and was scared to unlock bootloader but i did and void my warrant and enjoyed all custom Rom's later i sold it But Yes If u want to install any custom Rom's you need Unlock Bootlader Which I Think Sony is not allowing for this device....

Yes , just wait for the hacker to give away his tools to everyone!
no, it mean that is possible, but i think the author will not share any tool, he only make a report, doesn't mean he is working on a tool for unlocking bootloaders

Touch Screen to unlock ? M2 D2303

I tryed to find some way to unlock the phone by touching the screen but i can't find a good one , i want one like in other Sony devices or the Htc M8 , did anyone found a good solution? thanks in addvance !
I read somewhere that for unlocking you need to edit kernel, for locking i use ScreenOff app from Play Store.
Good Luck.

LB root and XZ?

Hi
I have had my XZ for about a month now after an Xperia Z3 Compact. With the Z3C it took a little while before developer achieved root on locked bootloader with confirmed backup of any TA-data. I seem to remember that there was a bounty up for grabs for a while as well.
However. I see no such efforts being made to the XZ... The only option is to unlock the bootloader and thus void your warranty. The warranty is never a problem with a locked bootloader as I've had my old Z3C in for service a few times without any problems....
From what I've been able to find out, there are not many vulnerabilities in any of the XZ kernels that can be used to get root. And any other weaknesses I haven't been able to find either.
A last resort would be to try K*ngo Root just to be able to install a recovery and backup the TA partition. Ugly, but if it would work you'd just flash a fresh romantic over it and it would be gone.
Anyone with other ideas out there?

Until now... the only way to get XZ rooted is unlocking bootloader (if you XZ support it) ... Before do it is recommendable that you make a TA backup (Universal (Dirtycow-based) TA Backup v2)... to make TA backup you need Marshmallow (downgrade if you are on Nougat).
